Happy November! I am in the midst of planning a HUGE Thanksgiving dinner and I couldn’t be more excited. I even made these super cute little invites for my family! I love the holidays and I’ve written previously about why I think it’s SO important to create and maintain family traditions. There’s nothing better…

I don’t love white meat. Somehow though, I make tons of it each week for Mr. Mike…I’m so nice, I know. I’ve been making more dark meat lately using chicken thighs and also, chicken legs! It’s a dish that really reminds me of my grandma who used to make pan seared chicken legs often. They…

Aka the kitchen sink salad. I ultimately took all the things that needed to be used up and put it in a bowl. Creative right? I love this concept though. You don’t always have to get out your apron and pots and pans to make a quick healthy snack or meal folks. This took me…

Seriously, I stopped what I was doing, and I came to my desk (starving and all) to blog about this recipe. You’re welcome. I get REALLY excited when I create things that taste THIS good that are absolutely guilt-free. Additionally, being allergic to about 19271927 different foods, finding concoctions that taste great and make my…

I adore pesto. I adore most thing green in fact. While I obsess over cheese as well, I just can’t really eat it much anymore. It really affects my skin-it’s just not worth it anymore! That being said, I decided to play around with a new basil plant I got from Trader Joe’s recently. I…

I ADORE FIGS and when they’re on sale, forget about it. Get me a U-Haul. I got delicious Black Mission Figs buy one get one free and it was the highlight of my week. It always kind of irritates me when I see recipes for such a small side or snack that require the entire…

I love bok choy. I adore baby bok choy. Maybe it’s because they’re tiny and baby-like and precious and cute. Who knows. Trader Joe’s offers a beautiful box at a beyond reasonable price so I’ve been indulging lately. Of course, this dish is gluten-free and dairy-free, and insanely healthy, it’s actually impossible to feel guilty…

Being gluten-free doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy savory and hearty foods. Unfortunately, for some reason I’m still unsure of, it took me a really long time to learn this for myself. I mean, REALLY learn this for myself. Of course, you can read recipes all day, listen to podcasts and read books, but until you learn…

I love egg salad. I don’t love mayo. This recipe is delicious and has a perfect texture WITHOUT the mayo! IT’S JUST WEIRD! Enjoy this gluten-free, dairy-free, night-shade free recipe as a snack or as part of dinner. No Mayo Egg Salad No Mayo Egg Salad Cook Time 15Minutes Cook Time 15Minutes Ingredients 5-6 eggs4-5…

The green beans are baked, the salad is raw. See what I did there? I really enjoyed this salad partly because it was super satisfying and delicious but also because I have ridiculous food allergies and this doesn’t hurt my tummy at all! If you’re gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free and bean-free, this works for you! It’s…
